The collages usually had a unifying theme, among them guitar riffs, beginnings of songs, and celebrity names sung in song lyrics. Once each year, Wisdom would create a 6-to-8 minute audio collage containing bits of 50-100 different songs, and challenge listeners to identify the songs found within, with prizes (usually Night Lines T-shirts) going to the top entries. Some consistent callers included Vicki from Surrey (who later moved and became Vicki from Vancouver), Gilbert from Transcona (who used a mock-Gilbert Gottfried voice on the answering machine), Norm from Richmond, Rocky from Thunder Bay, Milton the Cabbie, Joanna from Hamilton, Sonya from Port Lambton, Ontario, Sean from Brandon, Manitoba, and Lori from Southfield, Michigan (USA). Regular callers to the request line became part of the show's fabric. Night Lines listeners could call up an answering machine in CBC's Vancouver studios and, after answering a 'skill-testing question' (by rule, something open-ended and usually bordering on philosophical, such as 'What do you want to be when you grow up?'), request a song for Wisdom to play during the following weekend's shows.

After host David Wisdom alphabetized his mammoth 7' vinyl 45 rpm singles collection by artist, he set aside time each weekend to play one single each by ten consecutive alphabetized artists, starting at 'A' and continuing until he reached the end of his collection in the 'Z's (approximately nine years later). Regular features of the show during Wisdom's tenure included: When David Wisdom took over the hosting duties in 1987, the show moved to CBC Vancouver and was produced by Susan Englebert.
